[Rarebooks] FS: State Line Steamship America to Europe Sailings Victorian Trade Card

[Joslin Hall Books & Ephemera]

State Line Steamship Co. America to Europe Sailings Victorian Trade Card.

“Reduced Rates! New York to Europe! Scotland, England and Ireland  
$26”. The Ships List notes- “Advertised to start services from Glasgow  
and Liverpool to New Orleans and from Glasgow to New York in the  
spring of 1872, but the first sailing to New Orleans took place in  
August 1872 and the first New York sailing was delayed for a year and  
started in April 1873. Although the State Line was registered in  
Britain, a large proportion of its capital had been subscribed in the  
United States. By 1874 a serious slump occurred in North Atlantic  
shipping and several ships were chartered to other companies or sold  
on completion. The New Orleans service was badly affected and was  
withdrawn in 1875. By the end of 1877, conditions improved and a  
weekly service to New York was started, but by the late 1880s, trade  
decreased and the company went into liquidation in 1890. The fleet and  
goodwill of the company were sold to Allan Line in 1891”.

Lithographed by Donaldson Bros. of Five Points, New York.
